The Abbott Longford Marathon presents a range of athletic events, including the Marathon, Ultra Marathon, and Half Marathon, challenging participants to push their limits. Athletes race at their own risk, with no liability accepted by organizers or sponsors for any incidents. The Half Marathon features a flat, single-loop course that begins and ends at the Longford Arms Hotel. Runners will complete a loop through Longford Town before heading onto the N5 Strokestown Road and tranquil rural routes, lined with picturesque homes and farms, before returning along the N4. Hydration stations are available roughly every three miles, with an additional energy drink station at mile 9.
